re: Greg Oden to host 2 or 3 teams depending on who you ask.

There's no reason for him to sign a 2 year deal with the second being a team option. If he gets hurt, then the team won't pick him up. If he stays healthy, then he'd make more as a FA than the ~$3m he'd be getting when the team picks up his option. He'd definitely be better off signing a one year deal, and I'm sure there are teams offering that. Now having that second year guaranteed, that should be enough sweetener to get him to accept a team option in the third year

good stuff...ya, we will have to give the second year if we want to get Oden. All things equal, he's not choosing the Pels.
